Adding shade to a sketch

A short but real-time demonstration of a technique for quickly adding shade and depth to a watercolour sketch.
There are many ways of achieving the impression of depth in a painting, but this works for me, particularly when working quickly.
Materials used:
Waterproof black Staedtler pigment pen for the sketch
Winsor and Newton artists watercolours in pans (for the shade colour I used French ultramarine blue, alizarin crimson and burnt umber)
Escoda size 12 sable brush
This is typical of the kind of exercise I show during watercolour courses and painting holidays. For more information on courses and painting holidays with me in the south west of France, details can be found on the gallery website at www.galerie-js.fr

well done, Jon. It would be nice to see some more of your work. The finished ink rendition of the door turned out very well, Would perhaps have been good to have seen the continuation of your efforts to have seen it reach that finished state

Hi Ian - thanks for the kind comments. I'll try and get some more demos up in the new year. It was a cold day (we do get them in south-west France) sketching that building. I'll try and work out how to get a camera set up outdoors.
